Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6), and values in the same row with different letter superscripts (b–f) means a significant difference (P < 0.05). SDF 0% means SDF/IDF = 0:1; SDF 25% means SDF/IDF = 1:3; SDF 50% means SDF/IDF = 1:1; SDF 75% means SDF/IDF = 3:1; and SDF 100% means SDF/IDF = 1:0.
